Bowel or fecal incontinence and how to manage it

I was initially diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, I had my large colon removed in 1996 and they formed a j-pouch out of me small intestine and reattached the pouch to my rectum so I do not have any type of ostomy bag, my j-pouch is my storage for stool. I have not had any issues really until Nov 2023, so really kind of stumped why it started so randomly and has lasted this long. I have not had a pouch scope for about 3 years, no change in meds, I just don't wake up in time to get to the bathroom, also have no pain, but alot of gas, which I think contributes to the leakage.
